    But Burke and Hare did just that, murdering victims and selling the bodies for medical research. that is part of the reason why The Anatomy Act was brought in to enable medical personnel to freely obtain organs for medical research from mortuaries.

    With that in mind it doesn't seem logical for the killer to be a trained medical person intent on organ harvesting, when that status of person could freely obtain them.

    I don't see the organ black market as the likely catalyst for this murder Trevor, I think the intent was to highlight crimes where internal organs were actually sought out specifically.

    That being said, I wonder about a "contract" issued by a gynecologist or abdominal specialist to have enough access to specifically womens internal organs of regeneration for study. Maybe, as Simon put out there, maybe Annie had a specific condition...like an unusual pregnancy, which offered information that a student or practitioner could really use. Maybe that person would pay to obtain a sample....and just cast a blind eye to the way it was obtained.

        "Women were commonly supplied with drugs in response to “female complaints,” particularly pain associated with menstruation and childbirth, or “feminine” illnesses, such as neuralgia and hysteria."

        From Kristina Aikens, Kristina received her PhD in English from Tufts University in 2008, producing the thesis “A Pharmacy of Her Own: Victorian Women and the Figure of the Opiate.”

          Does that particular quote show a link to the status of the women ?
          I'm not aware of 'free' medical attention pre national health service in the mid 1940's
          May have been charity run services
          I don't think St Bart's was one of those institutions but I stand to be corrected if anyone has evidence to show it to be charitable
